OPERATION  CONTRASTING VALKYRIE   
      IN THE  SIXTIES. THE CENTRAL    
  INTELLIGENCE  AGENCY "CIA" RELEASE  
   AEROSOLIZED  SELATENINE  OVER  A   
  JUPITER EQUINOX  CONCERT, CREATING  
  THE LARGEST SECRET PARADIGM  SHIFT  
  THAT THE  WORLD HAS  EVER SEEN.   
  
                                          
 THE JUPITER EQUINOX* CONCERT  IS PART OF 
 A FESTIVAL  IN BLACK TICKLE  ARRANGED BY 
 A GROUP CALLED  EPICENTER OF LOVE. THERE 
 IS   NO   ENTRANCE  BUT   VISITORS   ARE 
 EXPECTED TO HELP  WITH MAINTENANCE. FOOD 
 AND  DRINK  IS  SHARED.  MANY  BANDS ARE 
 PLAYING OVER THE  FOUR DAY COURSE OF THE 
 FESTIVAL, AND THE STAGE  IS OPEN BETWEEN 
 SCHEDULED   CONCERTS.   JUPITER EQUINOX, 
 WHILE AN UNKNOWN  ACT, HAS A PRESTIGIOUS 
 TIMESLOT AT EIGHT IN THE EVENING  ON THE 
 THIRD  DAY,  WHICH  IS  FRIDAY.       
                                          
 EIGHT  IS  ALSO WHEN THE  PLANE USED  TO 
 SPREAD  THE   AEROSOL   LIFTS  OFF.   IT 
 ARRIVES AT THE FESTIVAL ABOUT A  QUARTER 
 PAST,  SOUND   MASKED  BY  THE  CONCERT. 
 AROUND   WHEN   THE   FIRST    WAVE   OF 
 SELATENINE   MUST   HAVE   REACHED   THE 
 AUDIENCE, THE  SONG COMES TO A TENSE BUT 
 QUIET  MOVEMENT,  AND  THE  LEAD  SINGER 
 WALKS   TO  THE  FRONT  OF   THE  STAGE. 
                                          
 SHE SAYS, WITH  A CRYSTALLINE VOICE:  "I 
 HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL  YOU. I  AM NOT A 
 HUMAN BEING.  I  AM NOT  AN ANIMAL  OR A 
 PLANT.  I  HAVE BEEN SENT TO  DELIVER  A 
 MESSAGE TO  YOU.  A MESSAGE OF HOPE. YOU 
 ARE NOT ALONE.  THERE  ARE  OTHER BEINGS 
 IN  THE  UNIVERSE.  THERE  IS  LIFE  OUT 
 THERE,  LIFE  THAT  IS  REACHING  OUT  A 
 HAND. AND IT'S TIME TO  TAKE THAT  HAND. 
 TO REACH OUT TOWARD THAT  HAND AND  GRAB 
 IT IT. IT IS TIME TO COME  HOME. YOU ARE 
 GOING   HOME.   YOU   ARE  GOING  HOME." 
                                          
 THE  SINGER   STANDS  THERE  FOR  A  FEW 
 MOMENTS,  HER HAND RAISED  IN  THE  AIR, 
 BEFORE THE REST  OF THE  BAND  KICKS  IN 
 AND  THE MUSIC  BUILDS  TO  A CRESCENDO. 
 THE  CROWD  ERUPTS.  AND  THEN SOMETHING 
 ELSE  ERUPTS  AS  WELL.  A  CONCERT-GOER 
 DESCRIBES   IT:  "SUDDENLY,  THE   MUSIC 
 SEAMS  BROADER,  MORE  COLORFUL.  I  CAN 
 SOMEHOW SEE IT,  AND I  FEEL THE  OTHERS 
 SEEING IT,  AND I  SEE IT  THROUGH THEIR 
 EYES AS  WELL.  MEANWHILE  I'M  DANCING, 
 AND  I  CAN  FEEL  MY BODY AS I'VE NEVER 
 DONE BEFORE,  I AM  AWARE OF  EACH  CELL 
 AND  EACH  MOLECULE,  ALL  VIBRATING  IN 
 UNISON.  AND  IT'S   ALL  GOING  FASTER, 
 BUILDING  UP TO  SOMETHING,  WAKING UP." 
                                          
 PEOPLE  START FORMING  CIRCLES,  HOLDING 
 HANDS  AND  DANCING.  SOME  ARE  CRYING. 
 SOME  ARE  LAUGHING. SOME ARE SCREAMING. 
                                          
 AND THEN  -  A  FLUTTER  - AND SOMETHING 
 GIVES.   A   SHOCKWAVE    OF   REVERSING 
 POLARITY   IN   THE   ETHER,   AND  LIKE 
 BUTTERFLIES  GETTING  HIT BY A BURST  OF 
 WIND, THE THIRD EYE  OPENS  FOR EVERYONE 
 IN THE AUDIENCE. AND IT BECOMES  A CHAIN 
 REACTION,  QUICKLY  SPREADING ACROSS THE 
 FESTIVAL  AREA. WITHIN SECONDS THERE  IS 
 A   GLOBAL   BLACKOUT.  FESTIVAL   GOERS 
 REGAIN  THEIR  MEMORIES  AROUND  A  WEEK 
 LATER,  THOSE  IN  THE  NEARBY  TOWN  OF 
 BLACK TICKLE  AFTER   A   FEW  DAYS,  IN 
 MONTREAL FOR  THE EVENING, THE  REST  OF 
 AMERICA  MAYBE  AN  HOUR.           
                                          
 AND   THUS,  THE  POPULATION   OF  EARTH 
 HAS  KIND  OF  LEFT  IT'S  MATERIALISTIC 
 BASELINE,   ONLY  THAT   MOST   DO   NOT 
 REMEMBER                             IT. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * THERE'S AN INTERESTING ASPECT TO  
   THE  "JUPITER EQUINOX"  ACT.  IT   
   SEEMS   THERE  WAS   NEVER   ANY   
  JUPITER EQUINOX CONCERTS BEFORE OR  
  AFTER THE ONE IN BLACK TICKLE. THE  
   LEAD SINGER  (ALSO  COLLOQUIALLY   
  REFERRED TO AS JUPITER) SEEMED  TO  
  IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEAR (FOR A LONG   
  WHILE SHE WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN  
   A CIA AGENT,  BUT  A  LATER FOIA   
  RELEASE REFUTED THIS). FOR OBVIOUS  
  REASONS, MANY WERE LOOKING FOR ANY  
   TRACE  OF  THE  BAND,  BUT  NONE   
   WERE FRUITFUL.                     
                                      
   RECENTLY, HOWEVER, SOME ATTENTION  
  HAS BEEN DRAWN TO JUNIPER HELDING,  
  A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD POP SINGER FROM  
  ENGLAND  WHO  HAS  A VERY STRIKING  
   SIMILARITY...
